Chapter 2076: Destruction Golden Sun
The moment his skull split open, a golden light surged from the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Qi Sea, shooting straight toward Zhang Ruochen.
Unsurprised, Zhang Ruochen immediately swung his sword to strike it down.
The Blazing Sun Heavenly Son was a top-tier Saint King realm powerhouse with a powerful Sacred Soul. Although Zhang Ruochen’s earlier attack was strong, it had not utilized Saint Qi, only destroying his physical body without extinguishing his Sacred Soul.
Moreover, given the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s status and position, he undoubtedly possessed numerous treasures. Some of these treasures might not require Saint Qi to activate, making it impossible for anyone to kill him easily.
In fact, if Zhang Ruochen had not been able to activate the Flame God Armor, he would not have been able to break through the Divine Patterns on the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s body, let alone kill him.
“You destroyed my physical body, so hand yours over to me,” the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Sacred Soul roared, driving the Golden Sun as it crashed violently toward Zhang Ruochen.
The Golden Sun was forged from the core of a star, extremely heavy and radiating terrifying heat, capable of crushing an Immortal Sacred Body and incinerating it to ashes.
Even though the Golden Sun was a newly forged Supreme Sacred Artifact, its power far from its peak, the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son, with his current cultivation, could not fully control it.
However, the old Heavenly Lord of the Blazing Sun Civilization had allowed the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son to refine a drop of ancient Golden Crow blood and merge it with a strand of ancient Golden Crow Sacred Soul, enabling him to perfectly resonate with the Golden Sun.
Now, that strand of ancient Golden Crow Sacred Soul and drop of blood were both concentrated within the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Sacred Soul.
Without this, he would not have been able to activate the Golden Sun at all.
Unfortunately, on the Demon Ridge, he could not use Saint Qi and could only control the Golden Sun with his Sacred Soul, relying on the ancient Golden Crow blood. Otherwise, he would have already launched an attack with the Golden Sun instead of suffering the humiliation of having his physical body destroyed by Zhang Ruochen.
“Clang.”
The Abyssal Ancient Sword blocked the Golden Sun, but the terrifying impact still sent Zhang Ruochen staggering backward.
“Whoosh.”
The Golden Sun soared into the air, rising dozens of feet before crashing down.
Its speed was too fast for Zhang Ruochen to evade, so he had to hold his sword with both hands and brace himself with all his strength.
When the Golden Sun struck, Zhang Ruochen’s body trembled violently, as if a towering ancient divine mountain had pressed down on him, immobilizing him.
Seizing the opportunity, the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Sacred Soul separated from the Golden Sun, turning into a beam of golden light that drilled into Zhang Ruochen’s brow.
In an instant, the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son entered Zhang Ruochen’s Divine Light Qi Sea, where four powerful Sacred Sources and a surging River of Heaven came into view.
“You’ve actually condensed four Sacred Sources and turned your Sacred Dao Rules into a river—far more potential than my original body. Excellent! Zhang Ruochen, your body now belongs to me,” the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son exclaimed in delight, immediately beginning to refine Zhang Ruochen’s Sacred Soul.
A talisman flew out from the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Sacred Soul, releasing a powerful Spiritual Power to attack Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual will.
Only by shattering Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual will and rendering him completely unconscious could he successfully take over his body.
This talisman was forged by a Spiritual Power Great Saint. Even under the suppression of the Sealing Talisman Imprint, it could unleash a terrifying Spiritual Power attack, enough to crush Zhang Ruochen’s spiritual will.
“Blazing Sun Heavenly Son, entering my body with your Sacred Soul is the stupidest thing you could have done,” Zhang Ruochen’s cold voice rang out.
The next moment, a vast great world materialized out of thin air, appearing directly above the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s head.
Although the Moon God had set a seal preventing Zhang Ruochen from using the power of the Qiankun Realm, the Qiankun Realm remained within his Qi Sea, ready to move at his will.
Terror filled the eyes of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Sacred Soul as he trembled, “You actually have a great world inside your body? How… is that possible?”
“You didn’t even grasp my basic information, yet you dared to try and take over my body. Be suppressed,” Zhang Ruochen said coldly, commanding the Qiankun Realm to press down.
The “force” released by the Qiankun Realm was incredibly powerful, pinning the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Sacred Soul in place, unable to move at all.
Facing a great world, even with his many protective treasures, he could not make them work.
The Spiritual Power talisman instantly dimmed, ceasing its attack.
Fortunately, Zhang Ruochen’s Spiritual Power had already reached the peak of the fifty-ninth rank, infinitely close to the sixtieth, and his spiritual will was unbreakable, so he suffered no harm.
“No, Zhang Ruochen, spare me! I’ll give you anything,” the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Sacred Soul screamed in terror.
Zhang Ruochen said indifferently, “I had no grudge against you, yet you schemed to kill me. How could I let you go?”
Hearing this, the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Sacred Soul twisted into a ferocious expression, shrieking, “Zhang Ruochen, I am the heir to the future Heavenly Lord of the Blazing Sun Civilization. If you kill me, you will be an enemy of the entire Blazing Sun Civilization. You will come to no good end.”
Zhang Ruochen did not waste words with the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son. He mobilized the Qiankun Realm and mercilessly crushed down.
This was Zhang Ruochen’s second experience with body theft. The first time was with Qing Jin, who had once ranked first on the Sacred King Merit List. The difference was that Zhang Ruochen’s strength was now far greater than before.
Although the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son was strong, he still fell far short of Qing Jin.
Back then, Zhang Ruochen could suppress Qing Jin with the Qiankun Realm, so now, suppressing the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son was effortless.
“I am the Heavenly Son of the Blazing Sun Civilization. How can I die like this? I won’t accept it… Ah…”
The Blazing Sun Heavenly Son let out a piercing and desperate scream.
In an instant, his Sacred Soul shattered into pieces, unable to withstand the crushing force of the Qiankun Realm.
Beneath the Qiankun Realm, many treasures appeared, the most notable being a three-legged Golden Crow radiating golden light, exuding an extremely terrifying pressure.
From the shattered Sacred Soul of the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son, Zhang Ruochen gleaned some valuable information. “So the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son relied on a strand of ancient Golden Crow Sacred Soul and a drop of blood to control the ‘Destruction Golden Sun.’”
Originally, the ancient Golden Crow Sacred Soul had merged with the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Sacred Soul, but they were not fully integrated. After the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Sacred Soul was destroyed, it separated on its own.
The drop of ancient Golden Crow blood was also within the ancient Golden Crow Sacred Soul and had not been annihilated.
The ancient Golden Crow Sacred Soul was no small matter. Fortunately, its will had been erased long ago; otherwise, even an ordinary Great Saint realm cultivator could not withstand the pressure it emitted.
Without hesitation, Zhang Ruochen immediately began to refine this ancient Golden Crow Sacred Soul and blood. Otherwise, the Destruction Golden Sun pressing down on him would become a major problem.
With the suppression of the Qiankun Realm, refining the ancient Golden Crow Sacred Soul and blood should not be difficult.
From the moment the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s Sacred Soul entered Zhang Ruochen’s Qi Sea to its destruction by the Qiankun Realm, everything happened in the blink of an eye.
“Whoosh.”
Xiao Hei quickly flashed to Zhang Ruochen’s side, a hint of tension in his eyes.
“Zhang Ruochen, hold on! I, the Emperor, am coming to help you,” Xiao Hei said, preparing to send a strand of his Sacred Soul into Zhang Ruochen’s body.
Just then, Zhang Ruochen suddenly opened his eyes, two brilliant golden lights bursting forth.
“Has he been taken over?” Xiao Hei’s expression changed, and he immediately prepared to attack.
Zhang Ruochen gave Xiao Hei a disdainful look and said, “Do you think I’m that easy to take over? The Golden Sun Twin Kings are coming up. Help me hold them off first.”
Xiao Hei eyed Zhang Ruochen suspiciously. “Are you really Zhang Ruochen? Not taken over?”
“Get down there,” Zhang Ruochen glared at Xiao Hei and kicked out.
Xiao Hei reacted quickly, dodging instantly, and chuckled, “I was just worried about you. Don’t worry, with me here, they won’t get up.”
With that, Xiao Hei did not hesitate and immediately flashed down the mountain.
At that moment, the Golden Sun Twin Kings had already charged up the Demon Ridge, very close to Zhang Ruochen’s position.
Zhang Ruochen was now pinned by the Destruction Golden Sun, unable to move freely. He needed to refine the ancient Golden Crow Sacred Soul and blood first to gain control.
The Golden Sun Twin Kings were both furious. Zhang Ruochen had killed the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s physical body right in front of them, and now his Sacred Soul had entered Zhang Ruochen’s body, with unknown results.
Regardless, they needed to suppress Zhang Ruochen first to help the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son take over his body.
Xiao Hei swooped down, spreading his wings, which blazed with intense red flames, striking at the Golden Sun Twin Kings.
“Get lost.”
“An owl beast, you’re asking for death.”
The Golden Sun Twin Kings roared, punching simultaneously, gathering golden blood Qi to attack Xiao Hei.
“Boom.”
Xiao Hei’s wings raised two clouds of fire, carrying immense force that was unstoppable, directly sending the Golden Sun Twin Kings flying.
“If the Undying Bird doesn’t show its power, you think I’m just an owl? You’re not qualified to shout at me. Watch your tone and status,” Xiao Hei said, steadying himself and looking down at the Golden Sun Twin Kings with contempt, as if lecturing them.
With a Great Saint body and unable to use Saint Qi, he had a huge advantage. This Demon Ridge was the perfect battlefield for him.
After steadying themselves, the Golden Sun Twin Kings were furious. This owl beast was too arrogant. They had roamed the world, nearly undefeated in countless battles, yet here they were, being scolded by a creature for the first time.
They exchanged glances, mobilizing even more abundant blood Qi to envelop their bodies.
“Boom.”
A dazzling golden light shot up, breaking through all obstacles.
“Still not giving up? Let me show you my power,” Xiao Hei said, a sharp glint flashing in his eyes. One wing rapidly expanded, like a cloud hanging from the sky, and struck out fiercely.
“Boom.”
Bearing this unimaginable force, the Golden Sun Twin Kings were once again sent flying, crashing straight to the foot of the mountain.
Blood trickled from the corners of their mouths, their bodies injured.
Xiao Hei looked down at them with contempt. “I haven’t even used my full strength, and you’re already down? Come on, let’s see if I can’t beat you to death.”
This was too bizarre. How was that owl so strong?
Both Golden Sun Twin Kings had cultivated their bodies to the “Below Great Saint” level. Together, relying on their physical strength, they could contend with some Immortal realm Great Saints.
How could it crush them so easily?
They did not know that Xiao Hei’s true cultivation was at the peak below the divine level, though he had not yet recovered. Recently, while training under the Sundial, he had recovered significantly, greatly increasing his strength.
Coupled with his terrifying physical body, it would be strange if he did not crush the Golden Sun Twin Kings.
Just as the Golden Sun Twin Kings were about to attack again, they saw Zhang Ruochen extend a hand and effortlessly hold the Destruction Golden Sun.
The Destruction Golden Sun trembled, its artifact spirit struggling, but Zhang Ruochen firmly suppressed it.
The Destruction Golden Sun was forged from the core essence of a star. Normally, it was heavier than a planet. Rolling over, it could crush a group of Saint realm beings. If one’s cultivation was strong enough to fully activate this Supreme Sacred Artifact, the heat it released could instantly turn a planet into a fireball, melting it into liquid.
Of course, no matter how strong a Saint King realm cultivator was, they could not unleash even one-tenth of a Supreme Sacred Artifact’s power.
Clearly, Zhang Ruochen had already refined the ancient Golden Crow blood and Sacred Soul, allowing him to easily control the star-heavy Destruction Golden Sun.
“Zhang Ruochen, what have you done to the Heavenly Son?” the Golden Sun Twin Kings demanded.
Zhang Ruochen looked down at the foot of the mountain and said calmly, “He tried to take over my body, and now I’m unharmed. What do you think happened to him?”
Hearing this, the Golden Sun Twin Kings’ hearts trembled. Then, both their eyes turned red as they charged up the Demon Ridge recklessly.
The Blazing Sun Heavenly Son had been killed. They were to blame. Only by killing Zhang Ruochen could they answer to the old Heavenly Lord of the Blazing Sun Civilization and the Blazing Sun Heavenly Son’s father.
Xiao Hei sneered, “Still coming? Get down there.”
Before the Golden Sun Twin Kings could reach the mountainside, Xiao Hei swooped down from the peak.
Once again, the Golden Sun Twin Kings were knocked down the Demon Ridge by Xiao Hei, showing his one-man defense.
Then, Xiao Hei turned to Zhang Ruochen and said, “Go collect the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscriptions. Leave the rest to me. Whoever dares to come up, I’ll send them down.”
Zhang Ruochen knew Xiao Hei’s situation well, so he was not worried. He immediately turned and quickly returned to the stone steps.
At the foot of the Demon Ridge, the Golden Sun Twin Kings exchanged glances. Besides anger, there was a hint of wariness in their eyes. After three consecutive clashes, they truly felt the power of Xiao Hei’s physical body. Even working together, they could not gain any advantage.
Continuing up the mountain would only result in being suppressed by Xiao Hei, a self-inflicted humiliation.
Under these circumstances, they calmed down and did not act rashly again.
Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei would inevitably leave the Demon Ridge. When that time came, they could strike.
Without the suppression of the Sealing Talisman Imprint, they were confident they could suppress Zhang Ruochen and Xiao Hei.
“Heh, Zhang Ruochen is quite bold, killing a Heavenly Son of an ancient civilization. Just as the rumors say, he’s reckless,” a Bone Clan Venerable sneered.
The Eight-Armed Venerable snorted, “The more they fight, the better it is for us in the Hell Realm.”
“So, what should we do next?” another Bone Clan Venerable asked.
The Eight-Armed Venerable pondered briefly and said, “Wait and see. If possible, eliminate both Zhang Ruochen and the Blazing Sun Civilization’s strong ones.”
Hearing this, the other six Venerables nodded in agreement. They shared the same thought.
Killing Zhang Ruochen or the Golden Sun Twin Kings would be a great achievement.
On the Demon Ridge, Zhang Ruochen’s steps were steady, one step at a time. No matter how the demonic Qi surged, he remained unmoved.
Finally, after stepping onto the hundredth stone step, Zhang Ruochen stood before the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscription.
This stone inscription was over ten feet tall, releasing vast demonic Qi. Above it, rolling demon clouds gathered, as if connecting to a world belonging to the Heavenly Demon.
Turning his gaze, Zhang Ruochen looked at the stone platform beneath the inscription and showed a hint of surprise. “This is…”
The stone platform was covered with many tiny characters and strange patterns, full of demonic power, making it hard to look away.
“King-level technique ‘Prison Suppression Demon Scripture,’ cultivable to the Demigod realm.”
“Demon God Prison Suppression, divided into seven levels. Mastering the first level is a Low-rank Sacred Art, the second a Mid-rank Sacred Art, the third an Immortal-level High-rank Sacred Art… Mastering the seventh level can evolve into a Supreme-level High-rank Sacred Art. If the seven levels are perfectly fused, it can become a Divine Ability.”
After reading the characters and patterns on the stone platform, Zhang Ruochen’s mind trembled.
A King-level technique and such exquisite Sacred Arts at the peak were truly unexpected.
He could see that both the “Prison Suppression Demon Scripture” and “Demon God Prison Suppression” were created by comprehending the Heavenly Demon Prison Suppression Diagram.
Only an extremely powerful god could create such profound demonic techniques and Sacred Arts.
“I wonder which senior of the Divine Dragon Clan managed to comprehend the Heavenly Demon Stone Inscription to such a level. Few demonic techniques circulating in the Kunlun Realm can match the ‘Prison Suppression Demon Scripture,’” Zhang Ruochen thought, his emotions stirred, unable to calm down.
For demonic cultivators, this Demon Ridge was undoubtedly a treasure trove of immeasurable value.
